Brown Bombers

Posted

Does anyone remember a sound played in the mid 70s, I'm sure it was by the Brown Bombers and called "Having Fun" or something similar. I seem to think it was a B side backing track of the A side. Was it ever revived and has anyone got an MP3 or RM of it.

A mate at Yate was always getting those prescribed, as he was always falling off his scooter, and use to pass them on to us at a reasonable fee :rolleyes:

It's on a Goldmine CD, DETROIT UNDER COVER - GSCD 117

Is that the one with the manic flutes and kiddie chorus? :rolleyes:

Seen it listed a few times around £300-400. Been on ebay some also. I think Tim Brown featured the instrumental side on one of his latest "rarest" compilations on Goldmine.

Indeed it is. Strange song. Can't really say if i like it or not. Can't get you a mp3 neither im afraid.

Reminds me about the signature melody of a swedih children's show on telly called Kalles Kl¤ttertr¤d.

Brown Bombers "Just Fun"/"Wait For Me"  Amazing 101

No mp3 I'm afraid!

Quite popular at Notts Palais all dayers late seventies/ 1980 ?

I think Chris Fletcher was the one to play it but the line up was so good there,

Chris, John Poole, Searling, Sam, Gary Rushbrooke and Rob Smith amongst others, that it could have been anyone.

Anyone buying £50 'dealer packs off Martin Koppel in the late seventies will have got a copy, as he seemed to put them on every pack. Valued @£2.50 !

Not that it matters to the vast majority of you, but i have to correct my self, it was not Kalles Kl¤ttertr¤d, but Alfons ...berg.

That's the one. I couldn't remember anything about it apart from the groups name. Now the memory is rekindled I still like it.

Cheers everyone.
